SAN LUIS, Ariz. -- Mexican smugglers used a pneumatic-powered cannon to propel cans packed with
85 pounds of marijuana into the air and over a fence at the Mexican border near San Luis, Ariz.,
authorities said yesterday.

The plot was foiled when Border Patrol agents discovered the 33 pot-filled cans last week
before they could be picked up by smugglers in an area about 500 feet from the border fence, on the
United States side, Estes said.
